Spring may have arrived, but Toronto isn't quite done with winter weather yet.
According to Environment Canada, Toronto could see a total snowfall of up to 2 cm Wednesday.
The morning is forecast to see a bit of sun, before getting cloudier around 12 p.m., the agency says. By the afternoon, rain showers will turn to, at times heavy, flurries, it added.
“We looking at a squall line that's going to swing through, [and] some lake effect snow could impact communities after that,” CTV News Toronto’s weather specialist Lyndsay Morrison said Tuesday evening.
Amidst the "intense burst of snow," Morrison warned Torontonians of reduced visibility, strong winds, and plummeting temperatures on Wednesday afternoon going into the evening.
Environment Canada encouraged drivers to check conditions before hitting the road tomorrow, and to take it slow.
"Expect visibility to be suddenly reduced if driving," it said in a tweet posted Tuesday.
